Many
shops toss around words like "Show Quality", "Award Winning",
"Custom Work", etc. What do those terms really mean?

Custom paint work
has a standard set of procedures that must be strictly
adhered to. Custom paint can entail artwork, graphics,
flames, two-tones, fades, or one single color. Custom paint
is all about cleanliness, preparation of vehicle and
parts, proper application of chemicals and paint related
materials. Without a thorough knowledge of application
techniques and procedures of the selected paint manufacturers
system most paint jobs are doomed to eventual failure. Central Florida Customs is a
certified Glasurit Paint Shop which means we are up to date on
chemical selection and application of the
Glasurit paint
system and that our air system, knowledge of product and application
has met a strict set of guidelines. In addition, we are
required to attend containing classes related to the
application and enhancements to the
Glasurit
system.

Custom paint work
starts long before loading the spray gun and walking in the
paint booth. Custom paint work is knowing exactly what the finish
product will look like before even starting. This all relates
back to the metal and body work, because if they are not right
all the shiny paint in the world doesn't matter! Air quality,
proper spraying, pressure and gun techniques are critical. We
have a strict application process that is followed every
single time which ensures all paint work and results are the
same every time - every job! No excuses! No exceptions!

After all art work
and graphics if any, the paint colors are laid down, all
panels, parts and bodies are clear coated with a minimum of 3
coats of high solid clear. If there is extensive artwork or
graphics and pin stripping involved we wet sand down vehicle
or parts and re-clear so that all is buried under clear and
cannot be felt on surfaces. This ensures there is plenty of
clear left on the vehicle for superior sun fade protection and
longevity of work. This is critical to the overall performance
of any paint system. Clear coats are manufactured with UV
inhibitors and must maintain a minimum dry film thickness to
be effective. Base coats do not have this and rely on clear
coat for protection and shine. We do not endorse lacquer paint
as this system is antiqued, has no ability to resist sun fade, is very susceptible to airborne fallout and no chemical
resistance. Modern paint systems resist these issues and
perform as expected repeatedly.

When all painting
and clear coating is finalized, we like to let the surfaces
cure for a period of time before wet sanding and buffing
operations. We start at 1000 grit and go through 3000 grit
prior to buffing. We buff out all paint work to a rich, deep
mirror finish! After this operation, reassembly and detailing
begins. All of our paint work has a deep luxurious shine, no
orange peel and the depth of image is awesome.
